This machine has it. It is 64 bit 7 and 8 that are the problem. 7 is pretty widely considered to be better than xp. iirc, xp was the first os from them that required a hookup (phone or net) to validate. So what I wonder, is will they still validate your os if you have xp and want to change some hardware or have to reinstall, etc... if it's not supported, they may drop validation... will mean a lot of computer hardware ending up in landfills!
I agree, use a machine as long as you can... Some upgrade constantly and sell the old gear... that makes sense too... but I avoid tossing machines in the trash "prematurely". If it still works, it still works!
